Creating a Safer Smart Home

# Creating a Safer Smart Home

Smart devices can make your home more secure — but only if they’re set up correctly. Here’s how to get peace of mind with technology.

## 🏠 Step 1: Choose Trusted Brands
Go with devices from **Ring**, **Google Nest**, or **Eufy**, which have strong encryption and regular firmware updates.

## 🔐 Step 2: Use Strong Passwords
Avoid using “1234” or “password.” Instead, create unique passwords for each smart device and use two-factor authentication.

## 📡 Step 3: Secure Your Wi-Fi
Change your default router password and update your firmware. Consider setting up a **guest network** just for smart devices.

## 📲 Step 4: Automate with Care
Use automation tools like **Alexa Routines** or **Google Home Scenes** to make your home efficient — just avoid over-sharing permissions.

## 🚀 Step 5: Monitor Remotely
Enable alerts in your device apps so you get instant notifications for motion or door activity.
